Suggested Mounting

The iLoad TR Digital USB load cell is designed for applications requiring reduced sensitivity to off-center loading. These load cells offer direct measurement of load via the USB port of a PC. No need for signal conditioners, data acquisition systems or special software. Just connect and start measuring!

These sensors are suitable for applications where a small platform is required for measuring loads applied to the sensor - such as a small counting scale, liquid level measurement for small canisters or the load applied by a castor wheel with a small offset to the loading axis.

Simply connect the digital load cell to a PC via the USB port. The digital load cell appears on the PC as a virtual COM port. Using a standard terminal emulator send commands to the sensor to display loads on screen. They can either be one at a time or in continuous operation mode. Alternatively, use our entry level LoadVUE Pro 1000 load cell software or any of our other LoadVUE load cell software programs to simplify load measurements on a PC.

Our iLoad Series capacitive load cells can optionally output an Analog 0-5 V DC output from the same sensor! This analog output is in addition to the normal digital Serial TTL or USB output that is available as a standard feature. If you purchase the optional HX-100 hybrid load cell breakout board, then you can get easy access to the analog as well as the digital output. We provide optional analog calibration as an additional option when ordering these digital load cells.

Application Development

If you are looking to develop your own custom software application, these sensors offer convenient ASCII commands to obtain calibrated load information directly from the sensor without need for any signal conditioning, calibration or data processing.

With just a few commands you'll be able to incorporate load/force/weight information into your application. Click here for an example of sample commands.

You can use Visual Basic, Visual C++, Matlab, LABView or any other application development environment to create your custom applications with our sensors.

Load Cell Software

Digital USB load cells or resistive load cells with digital interfaces can be operated on a PC via our LoadVUE software. The software can be used with single load cells or multiple load cells and some can be used to control external devices via USB relays.

Calibration Options

After you've picked a load cell and interface device if needed, please select a calibration option from those shown below. It could be digital calibration or analog (0.5 to 4.5 VDC) calibration. And the mode can be compression only, tension only or universal.
